Pressure inside a tank of heavy water

AI Thread Summary
Raising the pressure inside a tank of heavy water by 1 atmosphere will increase the density of the water and may affect the structural integrity of the tank, depending on its material and design. The introduction of a giant inflatable dinosaur, when inflated, adds additional pressure and could lead to potential failure if the tank is not designed to withstand such forces. The discussion highlights the need for understanding the physical properties of heavy water and the implications of pressure changes. The scenario emphasizes the importance of considering both the fluid dynamics and the mechanical limits of the tank. Overall, the problem illustrates the relationship between pressure, volume, and material strength in a contained environment.

Is there more information to the problem?
 
No, but here is all of the text:
The Evil Physics Monkey takes a giant inflatable dinosaur down to the bottom of
the tank, ties him there, and inflates it, raising the pressure by 1 atmosphere. What happens
to the vat of heavy water (quantitatively)?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
